<p>The plasmid vector used as a vehicle to test the cis-regulatory function of randomly cloned genomic DNA fragments was modified from a previous construct, EpGFP (Arnone et al., 1997; Arnone et al., 1998). The grand-parent of this plasmid was pCMV (Clontech); it has ampicillin resistance. EpGFP contains the region around the start of transcription of the endo16 gene (from -117 to +20).The activity of this element has been described in detail elsewhere (Yuh and Davidson, 1996; Yuh et al., 1996,1998, 2001). In addition to a TATA-containing basal promoter, it contains auxiliary sites for a ubiquitous sea urchin transcription factor which promotes DNA looping and has weak transcriptional enhancement activity(GCF1; Zeller et al., 1995). The vector also includes a sea urchin ribosome binding site from the cyIIa gene (Arnone et al., 1998), positioned at the start of the coding sequence of the [http://www.fpbase.org/protein/gfp-s65t/ GFP (S65T)] reporter. The original EpGFP construct was further modified by the addition of a double-stranded oligonucleotide polylinker inserted between the MluI and XmaI sites in the Multiple Cloning Site (MCS), so that the MCS contains the following restriction enzyme sites: 5'-KpnI-SacI-MluI-EcoRI-SpeI-BglII-SmaI/XmaI-3', situated just upstream of the endo16 basal promoter.</p>
